Thanks for the reply westom.
A memory problem huh? The wife is right!!
Now then, I have read your reply a few times, if I have understood it right you are saying that the 'chain' from the power supply right to the sockets on the motherboard is where the problem lies.
So it COULD be the power supply, it COULD be the motherboard, it COULD be the RAM itself?
You have suggested two steps, step 1, ooohh, never done that before but hey, i'll give it a go, is there a guide somewhere on how to do it, (I have access to a multi meter unless a '3.5 digit' one is special?)
Step 2, sounds a bit easierI used MemTest as suggested by Patio in post 3, would this do the job or do I need a different one with the memory heated as you suggest, if I need to use the hairdryer method does this not overheat other components or should they all be happy cooking away?
Two of those BSOD's happened while attempting to start a demanding (for this computer) game so that points to what you are saying, very intermitent though, *censored* things, it's easier if it goes bang, at least you know what's wrong!!
Cheers.
